Preheat a griddle or skillet over high heat until very hot.

Divide beef mince into equal portions without overworking the meat.

Place the beef portions on the hot surface and press down firmly with a spatula until flattened.

Season the patties generously with salt and black pepper immediately after smashing.

Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes until a crust forms on the bottom.

Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on top.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the burger is cooked to desired doneness.

While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns with butter on the griddle until golden.

Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bottom bun.

Top with onion rings and drizzle with burger sauce made from mayonnaise, ketchup, red chilli sauce, oyster sauce, mustard sauce, chopped jalapeños, pickle juice, paprika powder, garlic powder, and onion powder before closing the burger.
